    HARDY PARKERSON WROTE:
    Edward Moss Carmouche A country boy.? What humble stock and town ? What country farms? Where?

    But HARDY PARKERSON never answered Mr. Liskow’s question.

    Why?

  2. Ferdie Perchecko

    Yeah, dem lawyers sure is stupid, can’t keep up with dem law. I agrees witch ya, Norris.

  3. Hardy Parkerson

    Give it up!
    Give it up!
    My mind keeps sayin’,
    “Just give it up!”
    But I’m a fighter
    And I won’t quit.
    I’ll fight right down
    To the end of it;
    And when I go out,
    You’ll hear me shout,
    “I’ll make it yet,
    For I won’t quit!”

  4. Cullen Liskow

    Hey big time Lake Charles lawyer, how may times did you ride in Eddie Carmouche’s yellow limo ?

    How well did you know Eddie and Virginia ?

    I bet our collegends never called Eddie Moss Carmouche the “Village Idiot”.

    Eddie,like me had offices and staff thoughtout the Gulf Coast region. We were well respected and well paid for what we did. We had a practice where we had to go to a jail and visit a client. Much less wait two hours to see one.

    What’s a “Collegend”, or what are “Collegends”? Answer me that, and then I might be able to answer your questions. s/Hardy Parkerson

    Those Chicks at Starbucks

    I haven’t written a poem
    In quite a long time,
    So I guess I’ll try writin’ one
    And try to make it rhyme.

    If I work real hard
    And have a little luck
    I might become a bard
    Writin’ ‘bout those chicks at Starbucks.

    Seems all those beautiful gals
    Have gone to Starbucks, Slick;.
    So I gotta get over there, pal
    And find me a chick.

    Those gals at Starbucks
    Look like a bunch of movie stars;
    But it’s I in my old truck
    And they in their flashy cars.

    But I’ve found out somethin’
    That I didn’t know
    It’s if you have a truck,
    It’s with you they wanta go.

    Somethin’ ‘bout a truck
    That makes a Starbucks honey
    Wanta climb in that cab
    And help you spend your money.

    Why does Hardy Parkerson go around the internet ruining websites by taking them over and using them as his own personal blog?

    One More Soldier

    A chaplain in the Army
    That was stationed in Iraq
    Sat sadly ‘side a soldier
    Who’d been wounded in the back.

    The man knew he was dying
    And the chaplain heard him say,
    “Father, hear my story
    And join me as I pray.

    “My orders were to guard the streets
    In this distant foreign place;
    I saw the tears and misery
    On each sad haunted face.

    “The mortar shells were falling
    In the streets and all around;
    I dived for safety in the dirt
    And tightly hugged the ground

    “I saw things man should never see.
    I watched the children die;
    All torn apart by missiles
    That were falling from the sky.

    “I could hear a tiny baby,
    As she whimpered and she cried:
    Cradled in her mother’s arms,
    As she lay there and she died.

    “I saw my fellow soldiers fall
    In a suicide attack;
    I pulled one man to safety,
    But got wounded in the back.

    “Father, tell my wife for me
    I’ll miss her loving touch;
    Please tell her that I’m sorry
    And I love her very much.

    “When you see my little son,
    Please do your best to tell him why
    His Daddy came here to this place,
    Why I fought and had to die.

    “Please tell them, Father, what it is
    That we’ve been fightin’ for;
    And I hope that they’ll be proud of me
    For serving in this war.

    “Father, the light is getting dim
    And it’s hard for me to see;
    I really wish that I were home,
    It’s where I want to be.”

    The young man slowly closed his eyes,
    Then drew in his last breath;
    Another husband and a dad
    Had been lost to us in death.

    And when he gets to Heaven,
    To Saint Peter he will tell,
    “One more soldier reporting sir,
    I’ve served my time in Hell.”

  9. Craig Roberts

    Whoever you are, jerk, you don’t even have enough courage to sign your
    name to your libels. People were so devastated by the injustice to Jim
    Brown that they elected Wooley as a favor to Brown. Everybody knew
    Wooley was Brown’s right-hand-man. Wooley did not get elected because
    of Wooley, but because of Brown. Pretty soon Brown will get a pardon
    and be back in Louisiana state government. I plan to get elected
    governor and let him run the state, so long as I approve of what he
    does, and I am sure I will. I even plan to let him live in the
    Governor’s Mansion. I just want a house by the side of the road
    somewhere not too far from Baton Rouge, so that I can show up and sign
    papers for Brown. Hey! I’m signing my name, jerk, but you don’t have
    the courage to sign yours. Bug off! Bug out! We don’t need you on this
    great web-site! S/Hardy Parkerson; Ronald Reagan Candidate for Governor

  10. Hardy Parkerson

    Thanks Craig! That says it all! Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Hardy Parkerson, Lake Charles

  11. pathetic

    Wow. It doesn’t get anymore PATHETIC than this. Hardy, why did you post as “Craig Roberts”?

  12. Hardy Parkerson

    You are the one who calls youself Pathetic. You ought to know. What was posted there under the name Craig Roberts may have been originally posted by me under my name–for I am not a coward like you–but I do not know who posted it under the name of Craig Roberts. Probably you, if the truth were known. Sincerely, Hardy Parkerson, Atty.; Lake Charles

  13. Hardy Parkerson

    And you are sick, Pathetic. Get help, get a life! Are you a queer? You certainly act like one.

  14. Laurie

    Laurie: I’m wondering if you have any influence within country music community to right a definite wrong concerning the country music hall of fame…the fact that Jerry Lee Lewis (along with some other notable absences) is NOT a member of the country music hall of fame. It’s a disgrace

  15. Riley Newman

    Hardy, you need to clean up your yard at the home. The trash can in the front yard is over filled, and the grass needs cutting.

    You need to get some Mexicans to come to your hose and do that for you, if your getting to old to did it yourself.

    Cajun Country

    When you’re down in Louisiana
    On Interstate Highway Ten,
    We want you to feel welcome
    So you’ll want to come again.

    Stop and have a shot of coffee,
    When you get to Iowa;
    And get the best of food and drink
    At any town café.

    There are crawfish bisque and boudin,
    You can smell them in the air;
    There are catfish, shrimp and oysters
    Just waiting for you there.

    We’ll boil a pot of Cajun shrimp
    Out on the open fire;
    You can eat them with your favorite drink,
    Strong or soft, as you desire.

    And the Cajuns there will greet you
    And lighten up your load
    And help you pass a real good time,
    As you pass through on the road.

    You might meet Justin Wilson,
    Hear his silly Cajun jokes;
    Or you might meet Cajun Boudreaux,
    Or some other Cajun folks.

    You can hear the French accordion
    Playing Joli Blonde at nine,
    When the Cajuns all kick off their shoes
    And have a dancing time.

    And if Lady Di were here with us,
    She’d eat some crawfish too;
    We’d teach her how to crack the tails,
    Just like the Cajuns do.

    For the Cajuns like a fais do do,
    They like a bonne soiree.
    The Cajuns like to eat and drink
    And pass the time away.

    An alligator sauce picance
    We’ll cook for you, my friend;
    We want to make you happy,
    As you pass on Interstate Ten.

  19. Jim–I’d like your thoughts on the following…we in Louisiana have decided that legislators cannot hold fundraisers while in session. The reason is simply that it gives the appearance of impropriety. However, it is perfectly legal for a participant in a lawsuit or criminal hearing to make a campaign contribution to a judge the DAY that case is being heard. Shouldn’t we address this horrible perception??

  20. Hardy Parkerson

    Or a lawyer to the D.A.

    If you’ve got money, honey,/
    Freedom’s on it’s way./
    You can buy the best lawyer in town,/
    Or even the best D.A.

    There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

  21. Mr. Repub.

    Mark Abraham (Republican) is running for Senate District 25 as well. Now, party affiliation doesn’t matter to me one bit in this race. Mr. Abraham could be running for the Golden Retriever Party and as of right now, he’d have my vote.

    Mr. Abraham is a former LSU football player, though in this instance I won’t hold that against him!! He served on the Lake Charles City Council from 1989 to 1992 and is currently the President of the Lake Charles Port Authority.

    There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

    Whoever you are, you Internet Terrorist, you should be taking Prozac. Your days are numbered. You will be arrested by the F.B.I. very, very soon; and the sooner the better for this and other web-sites. We are cominng after you hard. Pack your bags and toothbrush, for you will be using it inside a Federal prison somewhere, probably Beaumont or Oakdale. s/Hardy Parkerson

    Wait and see if when it is all over and the votes are in and counted if it is not Senator Hillory Clinton who will be the next president. It’s an inevitabilty.

    Chapter 2 – Our Inauguration

    Once we have been elected, there will come the swearing in. It really will not be my Inauguration, but the inauguration of the little people of Louisiana. I plan to study the inauguration of Andrew Jackson and make ours match or outdo his first inauguration as much as possible. I recall studying about Jackson’s inauguration when I was a student at McNeese and taking American history from Dr. Donald J. Millet. Dr. Millet was a great professor, and in those days at McNeese he taught his classes in an old Army barracks moved onto the McNeese Campus and converted into a classroom. In those days, many of the McNeese classes were held in such old Army barracks. Dr. Millet taught much more than history. He taught about the Catholic Church and about Christianity as well. His lectures just came across in such a way as to let us know that his calling was more than as a history professor. And although I had gone to church all my life, and in my years prior to college, I had pretty much gone to church three times a week: Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night; nevertheless, I never learned what the Doctrine of the Trinity was until I heard Dr. Millet explain how St. Patrick had gone into England and had taken the clover leaf to explain to the indigenous natives how that the Godhead could be and was “three in one,” by demonstrating how the cloverleaf was “three in one.” It was strange to me, even early in my college years, to realize that I had learned such an important tenet of the Christian Faith as the Doctrine of the Trinity from a Catholic, as I had been brought up in a church and in a society which was pretty much “anti-Catholic.”

    As a young adult, I once had a serious problem, and I sought out for spiritual advice a friend of mine who was a retired Catholic priest. We had never discussed religion before, only the fact that he was a retired Catholic priest. When I approached him about my problem, I had the presence of mind to call him “Father”, although all of my life I had been taught to “call no man ‘Father’ but the father who was in Heaven.” Nevertheless, I said to my friend the retired Catholic priest, “Father Gobeil, I am not a Catholic, but….” He heard my initial introduction to him and said, “Son, let me ask you some questions!” When I had answered all of his litany of questions affirmatively, he said, “Son, you ARE a Catholic…according to Vatican II.” This came as a real surprise to me; and, I must add that since that time it has always been a comforting thought to me. Sometimes when I am asked if I am a Catholic, I answer, “No, but I am a better Catholic than a lot of them I know.”

    What has this got to do with the Inauguration? Not so much; but I plan to have the Bishop of Louisiana for each of the the religious denominations in the state of Louisiana be a big part of the people’s Inauguration; for, after all, there is only “one” religion and I do believe it is the “catholic” religion, whether it be Baptist, Methodist, Assemblies of God, Pentecostal, Church of Christ, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic…whatever it is. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

    I was brought up in a church that did not believe in dancing. However, I have come to believe over the years that dancing is not as bad as it was made to seem to me when I was a boy growing up. So at the Inauguration, there will be “dancing on the Capitol Grounds,” and “dancing in the Streets of Baton Rouge.” We will have good Cajun music and good Cajun bands there to play and sing. Also, we will have good Blue Grass bands and vocalists there and good Country and Western bands and vocalists there and good Gospel bands and Gospel vocalists there. If we can afford him after the election, we are going to have Willie Nelson and Governor Kinky Friedman there…singing, as usual. The Parkerson Administration is going to be a musical one. I am going to have Jimmy Smith and Leonard Grissino and Brother Murrell Ewing and…you name him, or her…if he or she has musical and/or vocal talent, he or she is going to get a chance to perform at and be a big part of the People’s Inauguration and on the grounds of, and in the Lobby of, the State Capitol and on the grounds of and inside the Governor’s Mansion, and all during the four years of the Parkerson Administration.

    And if we can afford to pay their plane fares and hotel bills–or maybe we can let all of them stay in the Governor’s Mansion during our Inauguration week; for sure I’ll be staying in my R.V. parked in the parking lot at the Governor’s Mansion–we will have former First Lady Nancy Reagan and her and President Ronald Reagan’s family there; and also former First Lady Rosalyn Carter and President Jimmy Carter there too; and President Gerald Ford and former First Lady Betty Ford; and President Bill Clinton and former First Lady, Hillary Clinton there. And if I am failing to mention somebody special that you would like to see be there and to be a big part of our Inauguration, you just let me know who it is, and I will do my very best to get them there.

    There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about and to look forward too. And you, if you desire to be, you are going to be a big part of our Inauguration too. You just let me know!

    You must have remembered, what your mother told you about being judged by the company you keep.

    Especially if they don’t give you free tickets.

    Hardy, why didn’t you attended of party’s dinner Saturday night?

    There were a lot of our friends from the French Quarters asking about you.

  29. Molly

    “The president had five polyps all Democrats removed from his colon. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Carl Levin and Dick Durbin are all doing fine.”

  30. Molly

    Hardy, you didappoint me.

    You haven’t even wished me a “Happy Birthday”, see I if I wish you a “Happy Birthday” in a couple of weeks.

    I was thinking you and could to the casino for dinner and drinks. I’ve been sitting here waiting for you to call.

    But I’ve got better things to do.

  31. Hardy Parkerson, Atty.

    Hardy Parkerson, Atty.: As far as this Internet Terrorist who calls himself Pathetic is concerned, it is just a matter of time until he will be arrested and jailed for Terrorism.

  32. Molly

    oh Hardy stop being such as idiot. You got bounced from the other internet forum for threatening people. You just can’t or incapable of learning. Hardy ever since you were a child people didn’t and still don’t like you. Your just a total idiot.

    Gov. Candidate on “The New Police State Terrorism…

    ——————————————————————————–

    The New Police State Terrorism

    (August 19, 2005
    – by Hardy Parkerson, Attorney)

    Take Calcasieu Parish for example. We start off with about a
    thousand full time deputies. Then there is the Lake Charles City
    Police of about three or four hundred. Then there is the Lake
    Charles City Marshal police force of about a hundred. Then there is
    the Louisiana State Police of thousands. Then there is the United
    States Marshal police force. Then there is the Port of Lake Charles
    police force, and the Sowela Tech police force, and the McNeese
    State University Police force.
    Also, now we have the Sabine River Authority police force. Am I
    missing any? Oh, yes! There’s even the Railroad Police, even in Lake
    Charles, with cop uniforms, badges and guns. Then there is the
    Federal Bureau of Investigation police, not to mention the I.N.S.
    Border Patrol police force and the U.S. Customs Service police force
    which perform run-of-the-mill police operations traditionally
    handled only by local state police forces.
    Our Fathers never intended for the Federal Government to conduct an intrastate-only Criminal Justice System; but that is what is happening right now, with the United States Attorney’s offices
    handling what has traditionally been handled only by local state
    prosecutors and by local state courts.
    What’s more is that a contingent from each of most of the
    above-named police forces has gotten together and formed even
    another giant police force that they call a “Task Force” and they
    are literally terrorizing the State of Louisiana. In making what is
    a simple arrest of a non-violent defendant, on a simple drug charge,
    they arrive en masse and all pull out guns and aim them at even
    women and children who are not even criminal suspects.
    Further, they depend on the United States Attorneys’ offices to
    prosecute the alleged cases that they “make”. Since the state
    District Judges refuse to allow some of these police forces and/or
    their leader and/or leaders to “terrorize” certain portions of
    Calcasieu Parish, such as North Lake Charles, and refuse to allow
    the police to dictate whether bond for accused defendants will even
    be allowed, and, if so, how much these bonds should be set at, these
    police forces and/or their leader and/or leaders have elected to
    take their cases not to the local District Attorneys for
    prosecution, but to take them to the United States attorneys whose
    offices are getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
    The traditional Louisiana Criminal Justice System is changing and changing fast. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

    OPEN LETTER TO TONY-G –
    Dear Tony-G,

    I’ve been so busy lately that I have not even been able to do much about the campaign. Nevertheless, I see that LA Pubic Broadcasting is planning a debate without you and me. We can’t let that happen! LPB is paid for with your and my Tax dollars, and we are candidates. We can’t let them have that debate without us. You and I are the two best speakers of the whole bunch. Frankly, Jindal is no more qualified to be governor, anymore than you nor I is; but for some reason the Republican Party likes him. I still think he can be beaten, but it is not going to be Campbell, Boasso nor that other guy…what’s his name? George. It won’t be they who beat him. If he is to be beaten, it will be you or I who beats him. By the way, I’ve lost your e-mail address. Please send it to me, if this is not the best way to contact you. Best of luck! You are a great guy! Also, thanks for the nice things you have said about me! Please pray for my boy who is a Naval officer on the ground in Iraq. Keep up the good work! You are running a great campaign, outdoing me at the present time, for sure. Yet, one of us will make it; and before it’s all over, one of us will need the other. Again, keep up the good work!

    Sincerely,

    Hardy Parkerson – Lake Charles
